  • Title: Transradial catheterization: a word of caution.
    Author: Merin O, Shapira N, Silberman S, Bitran D.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2000 Mar; 12(3):142-3. PubMed ID: 10731281.
    Abstract:
    The radial artery has been used as an access for transcatheter procedures as well as a source for arterial conduit during coronary bypass surgery. It has been reported that 5Eth 13% of radial arteries may be damaged during transradial catheterization. The damage can be irreversible, and may therefore prohibit the radial arteryOs subsequent utilization as a coronary conduit.
